Elle Varner Toys With Her Sexy Side & Alter Ego For SFPL

Just last week, Michelle Obama was caught on tape singing the praises of singer Elle Varner and now she’s gracing the pages of the premiere issue of SFPL, created by Rae and Gabe of Stuff Fly People Like. Inside, she shows off her playful personality while giving a little sex kitten tease in a red sexy dress and colorful prints. She also toys with her alter ego in the multi-page spread.

In the accompanying interview, she dishes on how it felt to hear Michelle Obama mention her name as an artist the First Family adores, her dream collaboration and how she feels about the current state of R&B:

Check the highlights and more pics below:

On Michelle Obama singing her praises
I could not believe it….I thought at first it was just a rumor but then I watched and it was definitely real. I was shocked but also very proud that the White House approves my music for their precious daughters to listen to…. That I made an album that simply told my story, and that it could be appreciated by both a 14 year old girl and that girl’s Mother….I was chilling at home when a friend called me and I was screaming lol.

On Her Dream Collaboration
My dream collaboration at the moment would have to be with Frank Ocean or Luke James… I want to make a classic R&B collab like Marvin and Tammi Terrell. On a hip hop note, Drake on a song would be hot too!

On the current state of R&B
I think Rhythm and Blues is missing the “Blues.” That emotional hits-you-in-your-chest feeling that it was built on. The rhythms are
there but the quality and content just aren’t what they used to be. Luckily there are a lot of artists right now not only making great R&B, but getting some mainstream shine as well. I plan to take my music to a worldwide level so R&B isn’t the one trying to squeeze into the picture but actually standing proud in the center of the photo.

I love her hair as well @ OHHHHHH my son loves Elle’s music he woke up out of his sleep one night and sat up in bed to look at the commercial for her album. He knows good music and he isnt even one yet

I love that lipstick on her. Very bold & beautiful. I didn’t even know Michelle gave her a shout out. That’s cool. Her album was decent. My fav is “I don’t care”, “So Fly”, and that joint w/ J.Cole. As for her dream collabo….NO….Frank Ocean or Drake? Wth?! They don’t even claim r&b…I was skimming the article and thought she mentioned Tamia, but she was talking about recreating that Tammi Terrel & Marvin Gaye…which is cool but if that’s what she really wants to do, then she needs someone that’s more r&b like Tank, Avant, or maybe Tyrese.

She has natural beauty, pure talent and it factor, she should be blowing up now. who is her manager? She should be getting the Rita Ora promo.

She is a beautiful young lady BUTTTTTTTTTT…….This is HORRIBLE from the styling to the make up to the photography. I’m sure someone who has ratchet taste will continue to defend this. ….Alter ego shoots should show two totally different looks not a piece of clothing from the last look.#shoot#artdirector

She is gorgeous. Ever since I saw her on Verses & Flows & saw how thick she was in those black pants. Smh. I had no idea she was holding like that. The hips, the butt, the thighs all a perfect 10..oh yeah & she can sing too.

She is sooo pretty!
LOVE her body! Don’t get to see too much of that shape in the industry.
But I adore her voice. Idk if she will become GLOBAL though… Other countries aren’t really into the whole jazz/blues thing. BUT – there are some artist who manage to do it so I won’t count her out! I was just bumping “Only Wanna Give It To You.”

Omg Necole, we almost had another Rodney King situation out here in South Central, Cali!!!!
But it’s under control now!!! Thank God!!!
I can’t go thru another Rodney King Situation again!!!!
Think Elle s from here , right??

I had a chance to meet her and she’s so down to Earth, funny and just such a sweet person. I wish her nothing but the best, she has TRUE talent and she don’t have to prance around naked to sell records. Loves this girl!

I love, love, love, Elle. After reading the comments on this board I immediately downloaded her cd, but I’m not in love with it yet. However, I downloaded her mix-tape Conversational Lush a while ago and that cd is everything.
